Live comments

  • 0' - In just a few seconds Ahmed bin Ali Stadium will turn into a battlefield for Japan and Costa Rica.
  • 5' - Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
  • 10' - Supporters expect more eagerness from Kendall Waston, as he is very good at scoring at Ahmed bin Ali Stadium with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
  • 15' - We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 20' - While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 1 times this season with Costa Rica winning 100% of all matches.
  • 25' - The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds. He is still to establish what should not be done by the players and what is acceptable on the pitch. It’s going to be a tough game for Keysher Fuller suffering a number of foals already.
  • 30' - Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Japan needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
  • 35' - It looks like no one’s ball. Costa Rica is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 40' - Japan is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 41' - It’s a booking for Costa Rica player. Anthony Contreras gets a Yellow card.
  • 42' - Costa Rica receives a Yellow card for a hard tackle on 42.
  • 44' - Miki Yamane is having his name booked by the referee on 44.
  • 46' - The whistle greets Ayase Ueda as he departs to be replaced by Takuma Asano.
  • 51' - The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Costa Rica that had 7 games and scored 5 goals.
  • 56' - Costa Rica looks like a favorite considering 1 games won in last 1 matches with its main striker Keysher Fuller scoring 1 goals.
  • 61' - It’s a booking for Costa Rica player. Celso Borges gets a Yellow card.
  • 62' - The referee shows Costa Rica player a Yellow card on 62.

  • 71' - That looks like a foul for a Yellow card for Francisco Calvo.
  • 76' - Although teams showed high tempo form the start, they seem to slow down a bit. Both sides really need to catch a fire. Otherwise, we have another goalless match.
  • 81' - Goal! Keysher Fuller scores his 1 goal in 7 matches.
  • 82' - Another substitution for Japan to replace Yuki Soma by Takumi Minamino on 82 minute.
  • 84' - A meaty challenge results in booking for Ko Itakura on 84.
